The truck is described as a white 2023 Chevrolet Silverado, bearing Ontario licence plate BT84485.
Police say the truck was last seen in the home's driveway at approximately 11 p.m. Monday and discovered missing at 6 a.m.
Investigators say surveillance images suggest the theft occurred at 1:47 a.m., as flashing lights from the pickup were captured on video.

"The Barrie Police Service is reminding the public, especially the owners of pickup trucks, to make sure the truck is always locked, if possible parked in a garage," police stated in a news release. Keep all key fobs in a Faraday bag or box and away from the front door, use steering-wheel locking devices, use a wheel chock lock, leave exterior lights on overnight, install surveillance cameras and using other cars if available, to block your pickup in the driveway are also strongly recommended."
